FWD>>

Starting off in Central London's Velvet Rooms, FWD>> has been pushing the grimier, underground sounds of the capital since 2001.

Described as 'dark, bassy and informal,' these wide-ranging club nights are not full of your average punters out to get on it. Rather the crowd is made up music-obsessed 'headz' coming to hear the latest beats from producers who write specifically for the FWD>> crowd.

Superstar producers Skream and Kode9 are two alumni that have worked the decks whilst grime MCs Dizzee Rascal, Wiley and Miss Dynamite have manned (or womanned) the mic.

Fabric Live 37: Caspa & Rusko turn four capable hands to Fabric's live mix series. Released in 2007, it reflected their cheekier take on dubstep, with cockney gangster samples and ravier synths helping craft a sound that was friendlier to the mainstream.
